What is the qualification received in Romania? MD or MBBS or MBChB? What do all these different titles mean?

Answer:

In Romania the qualification is MD or Docotor de Medicina. This is the same title given to graduates of western medical schools. Tecnically speaking, only those with the MD qualification have the right to prefix their names with the title of Dr. MD graduates write a thesis at the end of the studies and the award of the title is given only if the thesis is approved.

As we are now well into 2014, I feel I have not yet thanked the team at Med Student Advisors for all the help and advice that I was given during my application in 2013.
